JP, you never fail to impress!  :) 

I have not had a chance to view all of your videos, but you seem to do very little vacuuming.  Is that true, or do you just not put that on film?  I guess if you are successful finding the queen it is not as neccessary?

Nice job as usual JP!!

Were those bees removing the sprayed in foam to make more room??

Well that is a couple of cut outs in the shade so you are due a hot one pretty soon.

You could have just taken the sheet of plywood home with the bees and have fun with them there.   Did they respray the insulation when they put the plywood back or just nailed it down as is?

First off, thanks to all of you for the kind remarks!

Joker, the bees suffer many losses this time of year when being vacuumed. I stay away from vacuuming as much as possible after the main flow.

I really haven't used it very much in the last few months.

Allen, sheet insulation was put back to fill the void before the plywood was put back in place.

Another good one JP!

Interesting circumstances for this cutout. I learned a lot.

I too, am impressed again. Assuming you speak the Cajun flavor of French, that would make you trilingual. Dang, I have trouble with the one language I can speak, English.  :-D

Thanks again.

Two things I've learned about you JP.

1. You are very knowledgable, and I continuously learn alot from you.

2. You manage to always have fun at whatever job site you are placed at.

A pleasure to watch. I can't wait for the next one!
